Gill's Notes on the Bible

Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain,.... This is spoken to the priests, whose business it was to blow the trumpets for calling solemn assemblies to meet in Zion, the temple built there, called from thence the holy mountain of God. Here the trumpet is ordered to be blown with a broken quivering voice, a tarantantara, to give notice of approaching danger by the locusts, or those enemies signified by them, and to prepare for it, and return to God by repentance;

let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; at the judgments of God coming upon them, and the alarm of them:

for the day of the Lord cometh, for [it is] nigh at hand; the time fixed by him to punish a wicked people, and to pour out his wrath and vengeance on them; the day of his visitation, not in love, but in anger.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Blow ye the trumpet - The trumpet was accustomed to sound in Zion, only for religious uses; to call together the congregations for holy meetings, to usher in the beginnings of their months and their solemn days with festival gladness. Now in Zion itself, the stronghold of the kingdom, the Holy City, the place which God chose to put His Name there, which He had promised to establish, the trumpet was to be used, only for sounds of alarm and fear. Alarm could not penetrate there, without having pervaded the whole land. With it, the whole human hope of Judah was gone.

Sound an alarm in My holy mountain - He repeats the warning in varied expressions, in order the more to impress people’s hearts and to stir them to repentance. Even “the holy mountain” of God was to echo with alarms; the holiness, once bestowed upon it, was to be no security against the judgments of God; yea, in it rather were those judgments to begin. So Peter saith, “The time is come, that judgment must begin at the house of God” 1 Peter 4:17. The alarm being blown in Zion, terror was to spread to all the inhabitants of the land, who were, in fear, to repent. The Church of Christ is foretold in prophecy under the names of “Zion” and of the holy “mountain.” It is the “stone cut out without hands, which became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth” Daniel 2:34-35. Of it, it is said, “Come ye and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob!” Isaiah 2:3. And Paul says, “ye are come unto mount Zion and unto the city of the living God” Hebrews 12:22. The words then are a rule for all times. The judgments predicted by Joel represent all judgments unto the end; the conduct, prescribed on their approach, is a pattern to the Church at all times. : “In this mountain we must wail, considering the failure of the faithful, in which, “iniquity abounding, charity waxeth cold.” For now (1450 a.d.) the state of the Church is so sunken, and you may see so great misery in her from the most evil conversation of many, that one who burns with zeal for God, and truly loveth his brethren, must say with Jeremiah, “Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease, for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach” Jeremiah 14:17.

Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble - ^o: “We should be troubled when we hear the words of God, rebuking, threatening, avenging, as Jeremiah saith, ‘my heart within me is broken, all my bones shake, because of the Lord and because of the words of His holiness’ Jeremiah 23:9. Good is the trouble which people, weighing their sins, are shaken with fear and trembling, and repent.”

For the Day of the Lord is at hand - “The Day of the Lord” is any day in which He avengeth sin, any day of Judgment, in the course of His Providence or at the end; the day of Jerusalem from the Chaldees or Romans, the day of antichrist, the day of general or particular judgment, of which James says, “The coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Behold the Judge standeth before the door” James 5:8-9. : “Well is that called “the day of the Lord,” in that, by the divine appointment, it avengeth the wrongs done to the Lord through the disobedience of His people.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER II

The prophet sounds the alarm of a dreadful calamity, the

description of which is most terribly worked up, 1-11.

Exhortation to repentance, fasting, and prayer, that the Divine

judgments may be averted, 12-17.

God will in due time take vengeance on all the enemies of pure

and undefiled religion, 18-20.

Great prosperity of the Jews subsequent to their return from

the Babylonish captivity, 21-27.

Joel then makes an elegant transition to the outpouring of the

Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost, 28-30;

for so these verses are explained by one of the twelve apostles

of the Lamb. See Acts 2:16-21.

Prophecy concerning the destruction of Jerusalem, which was

shortly to follow the opening of the Gospel dispensation, 31.

Promises of safety to the faithful and penitent; promises

afterwards remarkably fulfilled to the Christians in their

escape to Pella from the desolating sword of the Roman army,

32.
